An election of the delegation from Finland to the European Parliament was held in 2009.

[1] Finland uses the open list D'Hondt method, where voters vote for an individual, but the individual's vote is counted primarily for the party and secondarily for the candidate.

Parties receive seats in proportion to their share of the vote, and candidates from those parties are selected based on the votes they received individually.

In European Parliament elections, the whole country forms a single constituency.

Moreover, the most popular candidate on the SDP list was the independent Mitro Repo.
